Re: [Evolution] search through all subfolders

[Wouter van Marle <wouter squirrel-systems com>]

I just gave the vfolders a look, seems to be able to do the trick, more or less.

In case I add a folder to my tree, it seems that I will have to add it manually again to the vfolder of the same category to search through that one as well. I can't say "local folder <scraps> with all subfolders of that one" (where <scraps> is a second level subfolder of my inbox).

Besides that I don't feel like adding a few dozen folders (yes, that subfolder has so many) manually through that poor GUI provided for the subfolders. I have to scroll and scroll and scroll all the time to find the one I need to add! And then be careful I don't miss one... no it's really a good solution. More a workaround.
